you can get hurt doing any exercise if you're not careful.OP sounds like he has other issues going on as opposed to poor form, ego,etc.
Just know your limits brehs and don't disregard your core work and you'll be fine.
Be careful deadlifting...

yeah u can hyperextend your back there but that's more an issue with olympic style stuff. You'd have to lockout hard as hell lol.
More weight = ego lift?Why are so many people assuming more weight = ego lift?
I've been working out at my home about the past 2 years and I didn't suddenly start lifting less weight because nobody is around.
Well, if you regularly go to a gym, you see it a lot. It's not everyone, but some people have an ego, either to protect or boost. I don't play that game. I know my limits.

I'm gonna start using the hammer strength deadlift. My back issues are starting to flare up....

Honestly, I have not done deadlifting in awhile. I used to do deadlift once a week for awhile, but I started to slow down once I was doing high 200s/low 300s for reps. Its a great exercise, but like others have said, I feel you need to be careful once you start going heavy on a regular basis. Especially since deadlift is such a taxing exercise and form can really break down when you're lifting a nice amount of weight and going for double digit reps.
Not to mention, it sucks trying to do deadlifts at a chain gym like LA Fitness where they have a "no chalk" rule. I simply can't get the same grip on the bar without chalk. The wraps just on't help much when you're lifting three plates and up...at least for me.
Peace

On the subject of deads being a detrimental lift.....'Form follows Function'.....basically try & encorporate set deloads & periodization periods into your programs as at heavy ass DL's (or any big lifts) this is the safest way to maximise your strength gains & numbers (by some point we would have milked the shyte out of our noob/intermdiate phase & from there on things get alil tricky) if certain aspects of your body are lacking i.e leg drive or simply irregular quad to hamstring strength ratios then try to bring those body parts up to par via accessory work!
Also to the headz that are lifting at pussified commerical gyms ya'll need to join eslewhere that allows rigorous plate slamming..chalking up & heavy ass functional strength lifting..if this is not an option then I'm afraid you are limiting your potential brehs (read the 3rd line in my sig)

you don't have to be more careful as you get heavier. if your technique is right and you are progressing within your limits, you will be fine and your form will NOT break down.
just get a bag or something big enough to chalk in without making a mess and wipe off the bar/weights after you use them.
i go to planet fitness for god's sake where no dead lifting is allowed, period. But I still do it (as well as power cleans and other fun stuff) and I chalk up.
Though I suppose I might just be lucky enough at my gym where they don't care. Staff members walk by me all the time when I'm doin deads. They say nothing except "hi".

gloves + alternating grip on such a low ass weight

awful form by aubrey...you think a trainer would have set him straight
For those of ya'll who can't, or don't want to, use chalk....this is a pretty great alternative imo.

Some people benefit more for a sumo stance then a traditional stance.

Also, remember to not round your back
Don't sacrifice form for a couple of pounds because unless you compete, it's not worth it
